Thanks for the views that I may never get to see. Vicarious hiking? Not enough time to do all the walks I want, probably not enough knees left to do the climbs as such. So the fact that you and others do this and share the VRs is great for those small hours when sleep no longer arrives, and the books can be put to one side. Just a word of advice, if you made them a lot more boring then maybe I could get to sleep, do you think?

Thanks Jimbob There's plenty of boring rubbish on the internet, just google tree top treks and read what turnip is trying to do at Thirlmere

Tree top treks. Just watched it. Looks great actually my kids/ grand-kids would love this. BUT it is in the wrong place. Stately home gardens, urban parks that it the place for this type of thing. Get kids active where they live. You would not build a climbing wall at the base or middle of Mon Blanc or Everest would you? Suggest Rickerby Park in Carlisle, the Town Moor in Newcastle or Alnwick gardens for example. Not only better suited places in terms of the wherefore but so much closer to people that company profits would be increased and kids would get a good days entertainment.
